Development of a method for determining xenobiotics in the form of dried blood spots on cotton material and Whatman® 903 cards = Opracowanie metody oznaczania ksenobiotyków w postaci suchych plam krwi na materiale  bawełnianym oraz kartach Whatman® 903

Abstract

Cel pracy: Celem niniejszej pracy było opracowanie i zwalidowanie procedury analizy ilościowej dla czterech związków z grupy benzodiazepin (alprazolam, diazepam, flunitrazepam, klonazepam) oraz jednego leku z grupy Z-drugs (zolpidem), naniesionych na materiał bawełniany oraz karty Whatman® 903 w postaci plam krwi.
Materiały i metody: Ekstrakcję przeprowadzono przy pomocy mieszaniny buforu fosforanowo-węglanowego ph=6, acetonitrylu i metanolu. Plamy krwi analizowano z wykorzystaniem wysokosprawnej chromatografii cieczowej sprzężonej ze spektrometrią mas typu potrójny kwadrupol.
Wyniki: Wszystkie krzywe kalibracyjne zachowały liniowość R2>0,995 w zakresach stężeń 1-50 ng/ml na materiale bawełnianym oraz kartach Whatman® 903. LOD (z ang. Limit of detection) oraz LOQ (z ang. Limit of quantitation) dla analizowanych substancji mieściły się w zakresach: 0,04-0,40 ng/ml (LOD) i 0,12-1,08 ng/ml (LOQ) izolowanych z kart Whatman® 903 oraz 0,06-1,15 ng/ml (LOD) i 0,17-2,04 ng/ ml (LOQ) izolowanych z bawełny. Dokładność dla stężeń 5 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml oraz 50 ng/ml była porównywalna w obu grupach i wynosiła 76-101% dla kart Whatman® 903 oraz 73-117% dla bawełny. Nie wykazano znaczącego wpływu matrycy na ilościowy wynik analizowanych benzodiazepin.
Wnioski: W przedstawionym badaniu opracowano oraz zwalidowano procedurę analizy jakościowej oraz ilościowej czterech ksenobiotyków z grupy benzodiazepin oraz zolpidemu, naniesionych, jako suche plamy krwi na materiał bawełniany i karty Whatman® 903. Przedstawiona metoda ekstrakcji skupiała się na izolacji ksenobiotyków z plam krwi o znanej objętości. Ekstrakcja próbek przy pomocy prostej techniki LLE (z ang. Liquid–liquid extraction) stwarza możliwości zastosowania opisanej metody do rzeczywistych próbek zabezpieczonych na materiale bawełnianym lub przechowywanych na kartach Whatman® 903.
